Carmen Maria Cârneci: Origami with Blackbirds (2014/16)
Following the pattern of the song of a black bird, the third piece of the Origami cycle was composed as a continuous melody that carries characteristics such as motif and rhythmic inventiveness within the framework of an elastic tempo that allows the player a certain freedom. Made, remade, tied, untied, the many angled and asymmetrical origami-like folds create a constantly reinvented, expository music with a merely tranquil sound driven here and there by dynamic episodes. Particular attention has been paid to timbre/instrumental colors and effects, which in this piece are considered both a feature of contemporary music and a signature of nature.
